Mourai: A Historic Coastal Haven Just 1 Hour from Sapporo
Drive approximately one hour north from downtown Sapporo along the scenic coastal Orolon Line, and you will arrive at Mourai in Ishikari City. Famous for its rugged coastline and breathtaking sunsets, Mourai derives its name from the Ainu word “Moire,” meaning “quiet flow.”
Flourishing as a herring fishing village during the Edo period and later settled by pioneers in 1871, this area offers a profound sense of history. Despite being highly accessible from Hokkaido’s capital, Mourai has perfectly preserved its pristine nature and slow-paced lifestyle, offering a stark contrast to city life.
A True Off-the-Grid Sanctuary: Exclusive April–October Use
Nestled on a sloping hillside, this property is not your typical luxury villa—it is a raw, unpolished gem for those who truly want to disconnect.
The most important feature of this property is its strict seasonality: It is completely inaccessible from November to March (until the snow melts) because the access roads are not plowed. Therefore, this property is exclusively a green-season retreat, realistically usable only from April to October.
Coupled with the fact that you must pack out your own trash and rely on a local pump-up water system, this lodge is designed for a lifestyle that moves with the seasons. If you seek a rugged “secret base”—a summer retreat that feels like an extension of wild camping—this property offers absolute silence and ultimate privacy.
Massive Price Drop to ¥27.5M: A Blank Canvas
Originally listed at 40 million JPY, the price has been drastically reduced to 27,500,000 JPY.
The interior requires full renovation, and the building itself is currently legally “unregistered.” While this might sound daunting, JANKEN provides 100% direct, in-house support. We will handle all the complex legal registrations, title transfers, and the complete interior and exterior renovation. You get the fun part: designing your ultimate wilderness hideaway.
